    I love how John Waters' suits all get snappier over time. Watched all the Letterman interviews, from '82 to current. If only Divine could have lived to enjoy his stardom, and be that mega star he always wanted to be. Divine was actually a real sweetheart of a person. I know John misses him a lot.

    There's nothing better than a person who's weird and has the self-awareness to know they're weird. That's John Waters' charm.

    Waters so owns himself and his taste, what an amazingly confident person.

    The friend he was visiting in prison was former Manson follower Leslie Van Houten, serving a life sentence (with possibility of parole) at the California Institution for Women in Chino CA for her involvement in the 1969 Tate LaBianca murders. She was not involved in the murders at Sharon Tate’s home but participated in the murders of Leno and Rosemary LaBianca the following night.
